Habit.

This image shows all three types of leaves of this species:
All the yellowish-green leaves are Claytonia perfoliata, including those which are
narrow and grasslike, more mature leaves which flare at the end with a
spatula-shape, and the roundish, perfoliate leaf surrounding the flower.

Somewhere between Grizzly Gulch and Kelly Lake.

April 1995.
